Arweave uberizes the traditional web hosting environment, connecting people with spare hard drive space with people that need web hosting. This system offers unparalleled levels of data replication and security for users, as well as financial incentives for participants in the network. Arweave has set the new standard of highly reliable, lightning fast web application hosting at a fraction of the cost of traditional centralised providers. In April 2018, Arweave graduated from the mentorship-driven startup acceleration program at Techstars Berlin. After raising $8.7 million through token sales, Arweave launched its mainnet in June 2018. In January 2019, we launched the permaweb, a permanent serverless web built on top of the Arweave. This is the web you can own and run. Visit our website to learn how you can use Arweave to deploy web apps, archive web pages, mine and much more!
